Consumer Description

2006 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID. ON BUMPY ROAD SURFACE IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES GIVE WAY FOR A SECOND BEFORE REENGAGING. AT THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, BUT TOYOTA DID RECALL NEWER PRIUS FOR THE VERY SAME REASON. THE BRAKES DO REENGAGE, BUT THE DELAY IS ALARMING LONG AND VERY DISCONCERTING. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS THAT I'VE OWNED THE CAR AND I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME I GO IN FOR REGULARLY SCHEDULED SERVICE, BUT WITH NO SATISFACTORY RESPONSE. *TR
